command line - Does skype still have a man page?



Skype used to have a man page. Now, I just get:



thufir@mordor:~$ 

thufir@mordor:~$ man skype
No manual entry for skype
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
thufir@mordor:~$


I installed as per the directions for Ubuntu 15.10. See also:

Usage: skype [options]
Options:
--dbpath= Specify an alternative path to store Skype data files.
Default: ~/.Skype

--callto

--pipelogin Command line login. "echo username password | skype --pipelogin"
